VulCon Debugger

Starting from GreenVulcano® ESB v3.3, VulCon Eclipse plugin has been enhanced with a new feature: the graphical debugger. Now it’s possible to deploy and follow running flows in a GreenVulcano® ESB server, having control about stepping, execution and environment (variables). VulCon Debugger allows the user to view and modify variables currently existing in a well determined execution point of the running service. Using the debugger, the developer is able to augment its productivity, diagnose anomalies and bugs, finally increase the troubleshooting.

Starting the debugger

Using the VulCon "Core" view, it’s possible to retrieve, deploy and start the VulCondebug feature. Firstly you should choose the service’s operation to debug:

GVServices -->  Services ---> Service (Name).

Right-clicking the Operation to debug, the contextual menu is opened and you can choose "Deploy & Debug". When "Deploy & Debug" menu voice is selected, a new Debug launch configuration for the selected Operation is created and the GreenVulcano® ESB server is contacted and made ready for service debugging. Afterward, within a minute, the user must start the service in the ESB.

VulCon Debug Perspective

After the service to debug has been started, the GreenVulcano® ESB server stops service execution on the first node of the flow, following the "Start" node.
